Model for predicting long-term sinus rhythm retention after electrical cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

Medičnì Perspektivi, 2017
The aim - to create a model for predicting long-term sinus rhythm retention after electrical cardioversion (ECV) based on individual patients characteristics.

Prolonged P‐wave duration in sinus rhythm pre‐ablation is associated with atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation—A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2019
A prolonged P‐wave duration (PWD) in sinus rhythm pre‐ablation has been hypothesized to be a non‐invasive ECG marker associated with increased atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Effect of sinus rhythm restoration on markers of thrombin generation in atrial fibrillation

Thrombosis Journal, 2017
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers a hypercoagulable state; however, it is not clear whether restoration of sinus rhythm is associated with normalisation of markers of thrombogenesis.

Rivaroxaban in Patients with Heart Failure, Sinus Rhythm, and Coronary Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018
Background Heart failure is associated with activation of thrombin‐related pathways, which predicts a poor prognosis. We hypothesized that treatment with rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, could reduce thrombin generation and improve outcomes for ...

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2012
This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

An Aggressive Strategy for Maintenance of Sinus Rhythm Including a Combination of Catheter Ablation and Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy Benefits Patients with Chronic Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2009
The effects of restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm by a combination of catheter ablation and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) on atrial function in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unknown. In 15 patients with chronic AF (>1 year),

Association of heart rate with mortality in sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2019
To assess the association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and mortality, and also the association between resting heart rate (HR) and mortality in both sinus rhythm (SR) and AF in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Role of Ranolazine in the Prevention and Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

Diseases, 2021
Background: Ranolazine has the potential to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) and plays a role in rhythm control strategy for atrial fibrillation in various clinical settings.

Incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients discharged in sinus rhythm after cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2018
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased stroke risk and mortality post-discharge. POAF is often considered transient; however, recurrence is likely under-recognized as symptoms are an unreliable guide.
